Deep-level-clearing Germany

Open-minded remembrance requires the examination of one’s own past. To do this IRÈNE MÉLIX (*1988) proposes the process of deep-level-clearing: »Deep-level-clearing is a term from the construction indus-try. It is not a process of cleanup, but of restoring. With tools like demolition grab or backhoe bucket, terrains are made usable again – in social contexts, a process that is necessary but never finished.«
